2018 Somerset Patriots Year In Review: Chase Huchingson

Acquired in an off-season deal for the rights to Mitch Atkins, lefty reliever Chase Huchingson turned in a solid campaign for Somerset, but one that ultimately fell short of the impossibly high bar he'd set with the York Revolution one year prior.

"Huch" led the team with 51 appearances out of the bullpen, and finished with a 5-1 record and 3.55 ERA. He allowed just seven extra-base hits all season, but was another reliever who was never able to find a seemingly meaningful role; Dustin Molleken, Dustin Antolin and Ryan Kelly got the bulk of the late-innings workload.

In addition, with Mike Antonini's incredible success, he was unable to emerge as the top lefty option in relief.

Huchingson, who will be 30 when the 2019 season gets underway, could be an option for a return to Somerset. He made two postseason appearances, including allowing two runs (one earned) on three walks.
